Senior Accountant

The Senior Accountant is a key contributor to the accuracy, integrity, and timeliness of the company’s financial reporting and close processes. This role is designed for an experienced accounting professional with strong technical accounting skills, a solid understanding of US GAAP and SOX, and the ability to operate independently in a fast-paced environment.

The Senior Accountant will support monthly, quarterly, and annual close activities; prepare and review journal entries and account reconciliations; perform detailed balance sheet and P&L analyses; and partner cross‑functionally to ensure high‑quality financial reporting. While the role includes responsibility for certain payroll- and compensation-related accounting areas, the primary focus is on overall senior‑level accounting execution, judgment, and audit readiness rather than transactional payroll processing.
